Dr. Dan Runs for Student Aid

Dr. Dan Lockwood - Multnomah's current (and fit!) president enjoys a good run every now and then. This year is no exception as he will be running in the Portland Marathon (that's 26+ miles) on Sunday, October 4th.

He Likes To Run, So What?

What's different this year, is that he wants all of you to help him finish by giving him an incentive...by pledging to donate money to the Student Aid Fund for every mile he completes!

The Student Aid Fund goes directly to lowering the cost of tuition (that's right, Multnomah students don't pay what it actually costs to educate them, we rely on donors to make up the $4,766 difference per student, per year! It's called the "Student Need Gap").

How Do I Make Dr. Dan Run Harder?

Consider how much you'd like to give per mile and remember that there are 26 miles...and I bet he'll finish if he knows there's student aid on the line!

On behalf of our legendary running legend, President of Multnomah University, Dr. Daniel Lockwood, I will match the Pledge of Gina Berquist, except for the last two miles. For those two miles I will pledge $65 per mile.

I’m submitting my pledge straight to advancement…keeping it private on these public comments – if you want to pledge but don’t want to say how much, just email advancement directly…and then comment to show your support.

Thanks for your sponsorships! I completed the Portland Marathon slightly after noon today, along with my running partners Elise Lockwood and John Caughman. The weather was perfect; our training was solid; and our racing strategy worked! I finished under five hours, a personal best. That means–dear friends–I completed all the conditions for all our your sponsorships for student aid.
